Just a ThoughtFrom: Sue (anonymous@obgyn.net)Thu, 29 Mar 2001 11:51:00 -0600 (CST)
Hi Ladies-- This condition is hard to have. It's awful. I've had it for about 9 years now, and only had a dx for the past 2 yrs. But ultimately, I have to keep my chin up and keep a positive outlook on stuff--or else I would be miserable to be around and no help to anyone--myself included. I've read some postings as of late that describe the hopelessness and frustration of our condition--but that worry me, too. It's very easy to fall prey to the negative emotions, but those emotions don't do us any good. When we speak something negative like that (or type it, for that matter), we pretty much assure that it's going to happen the way we said it would. Does that make sense? Psychologists call it a 'self-fulfilling prophecy,' and I've seen it firsthand in my life. Our words are very powerful--in our lives and in the lives of others. To go to a Book many of us think highly of, "the power of life and death are in the tongue." (Proverbs 18:21) Although I don't want to suggest that we are disingenuous or untruthful in any posting, I do see this board as a beacon of hope to those who are suffering with us and those who think they might be in our "cysterhood." When we delve so deeply in to the negative, we don't give hope--just despair. Speaking from personal experience, hope is the best tool we have to give others in fighting this disease. Hope spurs us on to find just the right doctor; to go to one more appointment; to continue on to find health and balance in our lives. Just a few thoughts and maybe a gentle reminder to all of us from time to time. In cysterhood, Sue
